THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC WILL HIT THOSE LIVING IN THE POOREST REGIONS THE HARDEST.
The communities we work with in Cambodia, Myanmar and Nepal are particularly vulnerable due to poor access to healthcare, lack of clean water and soap, and existing health problems.
As countries close their borders, it is critical that we do not forget the people living in some of the world’s poorest regions. We are doing everything we can to support them, but we need to continue this work over the coming months.
OUR RESPONSE IS FOCUSED ACROSS THREE KEY AREAS:
WATER AND HANDWASHING
Over the coming weeks, our priority is to support communities to access safe water and soap, so they have all the tools they need to protect themselves and prevent the virus from spreading.
AWARENESS
The communities we partner with are beyond the reach of government and other NGOs. We are a vital source of information for community leaders about coronavirus and how they can help limit the spread of the virus.
EDUCATION
As our schools close, we also need to make sure the learning doesn’t stop. We are providing learning resources that children can use at home, in their own languages.
